clinton has been worried about this threat before now. she has done an impressive job of concealing it. the same is true of the obama stad ad administration more generally -- obama administration more generally. for the past four years the executive branch has gone to extraordinary lengths to obscure the danger posed by those who practice holy war or jihad against our country. the administration has also sought to silence and in some cases punish those who have spoken the trute about this menace. -- the truth about this menace. mr. speaker, i welcome the secretary's warning, belater though it may be. however, it would have served this country and the cause of freedom far more if she would have so openly and to have led encountering it at any point during her tenure other than its conclusion. one of the most important architects of that see no jihad policy over the past four years has been john brennan, president obama's homeland security advisor and his pick to become the next director of the central intelligence agency. in may, 2010, mr.

we had two vetos before president clinton and had president clinton elected and you can see we are a week or two after the inauguration. so this was the first bill that president clinton signed. years later, president obama's first bill that he signed was the lilly ledbetter. again, talking about women in the workplace, families in the workplace. and at his inaugural, he declared in his stiring address, our journey is not complete until our wives, mothers and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. this isn't just about women, but about families and men, too, who have taken family medical leave for the good of their families. so here we are to celebrate -- how could it be 20 years later? we'll hear from george miller, who is really a champion in that effort at the time and from some of our other colleagues to address the issue. but our very special important guests will tell us their real leave experiences. i don't know what george is going to say, but i know i want him to say we want family and medical leave paid. are you going to talk about that? [applause] >> thank you
